A star-studded gala last night saw some of the region's most inspiring citizens recognised at the Pride of Britain Awards.

Among them was seven year old Ramona Gibbs from Bristol who saved her sister Trixie from certain death.

And you can see Ramona, Flo and Jim receiving their awards on ITV1 tonight at 8pm.
